A Note on Burg’s Modified Entropy in Statistical Mechanics
Abstract: Burg’s entropy plays an important role in this age of information euphoria, particularly in understanding the emergent behavior of a complex system such as statistical mechanics. For discrete or continuous variable, maximization of Burg’s Entropy subject to its only natural and mean constraint always provide us a positive density function though the Entropy is always negative. On the ...
متن کاملA note on the Landauer principle in quantum statistical mechanics
The Landauer principle asserts that the energy cost of erasure of one bit of information by the action of a thermal reservoir in equilibrium at temperature T is never less than kBT log 2. We discuss Landauer’s principle for quantum statistical models describing a finite level quantum system S coupled to an infinitely extended thermal reservoirR. Using Araki’s perturbation theory of KMS states a...
متن کاملThermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics and Entropy
The proper definition of thermodynamics and the thermodynamic entropy is discussed in the light of recent developments. The postulates for thermodynamics are examined critically, and some modifications are suggested to allow for the inclusion of long-range forces (within a system), inhomogeneous systems with non-extensive entropy, and systems that can have negative temperatures. Only the thermo...
متن کاملNote on Two Theorems in Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Recently a Fluctuation Theorem (FT) has been proved by the authors (GC), [1], for fluctuations in nonequilibrium stationary states. Considerable confusion has been generated about the connection of this theorem and an earlier one by Evans and Searles (ES), [2], so that it seemed worthwhile to try to clarify the present situation with regards to these two theorems. In a paper in 1993 by Evans, C...
